32. To turn a deaf ear 装聋作哑。不要听,听不进的话,可以不听,装聋. 员工怨声载道,老板充耳不闻:The boss turned a deaf ear to all complaints。
33. Wet behind the ear。青年人涉世未深,言行幼稚,我们说:He is still wet behind the ears,或者:He is hardly dry behind his ears。
34. to be all ears, 耳朵听人说话,有它的选择。想听、爱听的话,全神倾听,英语作to be all ears。朋友说有话要跟你谈,你说:I am all ears。洗耳恭听也。爱参加派对活动的姑娘,听你谈到要开派对:She is all ears when you mentioned the party。
35. One-Stop shop / One-Stop Business Site. means you get everything here and don’t need to go elsewhere.
36. Hip = stylish, trendy: 新潮的新新人类每天最关心的问题不是今天要小考,明天要大考,而是如何打扮穿着才能引起别人的注意,但是佩带的零件也不可少,别人的好评、坏评不要紧,只要能引起别人多看两眼才重要。hip除了(臀、股)的意思外,也有新潮派、新流行、新观念的意思,反正与众不同就是了。所以,当有人提到某种饰物很hip时,千万不要误解与臀部有关。如:Thump rings! So hip, your friends will freak! 戴大拇指环!这么流行,你的朋友都会被吓到的。
37. Beats me我不知道。这地道英语惯用感叹句(idiomatic interjection)是It beats me的省主词惯用感叹词,作主词(subject)的代词 It 是指对方问的问题,beats me是“考起我了”,引申为“我不知道”。例如电影片断:女主角:Who’s the father ? 女配角:Beats me. 女主角:Beats you ? 女主角金碧辛嘉问的Beats you?意思是:“你不知道?” 
38. Search me “我不知道”、“我不清楚”
39. I don’t have a clue “我不知道”、“我不清楚”
40. I have no idea “我不知道”、“我不清楚”
41. You got me on that one(你那个问题难倒我了)。那也是近年很流行的口语讲法。
42. In the dark 对……一无所知。当朋友跟你说I’m in the dark.的时候,就表示他对某件事(大多是刚刚提到的事)一无所知。
43. Ground Zero 。化为废墟;零起点;归零地;中心,发源地
1)Lately, news that reports of the rescue works of World Trade Centre of New York City and Pentagon in Washington uses the phrase “Ground Zero” to describe the devastated sites. “Ground Zero” was originally used to describe the point on the surface of land or water that is precisely the site of detonation of a nuclear weapon, or the point immediately above or below it. Later, it expended to use to describe the exact target of a projectile such as a missile or bomb. And as World Trade Centre and the Pentagon were hit by jetliners purposely targeted at them, the term “Ground Zero” used is appropriate.
